ANAHEIM – Grant Green’s time with the Angels is likely over, his promise unfulfilled.
The Angels designed Green for assignment on Wednesday to clear a 40-man roster spot for left-hander Jo-Jo Reyes, who was added for pitching depth.
Green, a product of Canyon High in Anaheim and USC, hit .263 in parts of three seasons with the Angels. They acquired him in 2013 as a second baseman from the Oakland A’s – who drafted him ahead of Mike Trout in the first round in 2009.
The Angels converted Green to a utility player, using him at all four infield positions and left field.
